COVID lockdowns may seem a distant memory with everyday life very much back to the pre-pandemic norms.

But for children, it seems we may only just be getting a sense of the emotional and behavioural impacts those couple of years have had.

Researchers at University College London and the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) this week published a joint study - the first of its kind - looking at the emotional, social and behavioural impacts on kids.

Meanwhile, the children's commissioner for England examined NHS data suggesting a big rise in young people being treated eating disorders.

On the Sky News Daily, Leah Boleto speaks to Sarah Cattan from the IFS, and England's former children's commissioner Anne Longfield about the scale of the problem.

Plus, Rhys Barfoot, who works for the charity Family Action helping families across the country with financial and mental health issues, offers advice to parents and young people.
